Tim,

  For R14, the kmenu entries for each of the apps should have a logical home in
the kmenu tree. After loading tdegraphics I have 4 applications in the "More
Applications" lost and found folder. See:

  They include:

KColorChoose
KColorEdit
KFax
KIconEdit

  They are not the big apps like Gimp or the like, but there is no reason they
should be stuffed in an innocuous named "More Applications" folder. I would
propose putting them in the "Graphics/Graphics Utilities" folder. Simply
renaming "More Applications" to "Graphics Utilities" would work. I would also
move other apps from the current "Graphics Menu" into the Graphics Utilities
Menu like:

[Graphic Utilities]
KColorChoose
KColorEdit
KFax
KIconEdit
MPovModeler
KRuler
KSnapshot

  I would also collect the 'Viewers' into a like menu of their own. Like
"Graphics/Graphics Viewers"

[Graphic Viewers]
KDVI
KFaxView
FontView
Kview
Kuickshow

  That would leave the parent Graphics menu uncluttered and ready to receive the
users main graphic apps. Food for thought for R14
